But explain to me the rationale of a 29 year old whose potential ratings are basically the same as they were when he was drafted at age 18 but his current ratings are still crap and he has never made it to the major leagues?
Sounds like Gregory Polanco. I would argue that what you are describing is a fairly common MLB archetype. A guy who seems to have a high ceiling, but never quite gets there, yet is viewed a player with untapped potential most of his career
